Hey Dave Matthews

Music/Lyrics: Don de Leaumont

Hey Dave Matthews how have you been?

It’s been a while since I have seen you my Virginia friend.

Sitting here in Concord, and I’m feeling blue.

Can’t afford the 60 bucks it costs to see you.

          I remember, back in the day.

          15 or 20 bucks, when you would come my way.

          Met you back in ’96, the best night of my life.

          Hey Dave Matthews, I hate to miss, your show tonight.

Hey Dave Matthews why is it so?

To hear the song that jane likes costs a lot of dough.

I guess you could say that you must pay for what you get.

But 60 bucks is still a lot to me.

          Chorus

I still think you’re the best of what’s around.

Even if you have the most expensive show in town.

I’ll back you up since I’ve got so much to say.

While your playing, I’ll be frowning here today.

          Chorus

Hey Dave Matthews what would you say?

Would it be too much to handle of you knew today?

I got no rhyme or reason, I don’t want to let ya down.

Hey Dave Matthews, maybe I’ll see ya, next time you’re in town…

          Maybe next time your tickets will be cheaper.

          Even if I’m sitting a mile away, in the top of the bleachers.

          I met you back in ’96, was the best day of my live.

          Hey Dave Matthews, I hate to miss, your show tonight.
